Question

I NEED YALL’S HELP 2x+12=64 Step by step

Answer 1

Answer:

2x + 12 = 64

x = 26 (mark brain if this helps and is correct)

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve equations with one missing variable we must use the order of operations of equality

step 1: use the subtraction property of equality meaning subtract each side of the equation

ex: 2x + 12 - 12 = 64 - 12   (2x = 52)

step 2: use the division property of equality meaning divide each side of the equation by 2

ex: 2x/2 = 52/2   (x = 26)

step 3: check your answer by putting 26 as x because that is our answer

2(26) + 12 = 64 (multiply 2 * 26)

52 + 12 = 64 (add 52 + 12)

64 = 64 (if both sides of the equation are the same number like 64 = 64 then your answer is true meaning that x is equal to 26)
